Privacy Policy
Last updated: 2026-08-08
This policy describes what happens, technically, when you visit Allergy Relief Guide, based on how the site is actually built.
What this site collects
The site itself is a static website with no accounts, logins, comment features or checkout. It does not ask you for your name, postal address, date of birth or any health information, and there is no database of readers on our side.
Two third-party Google services do run on every page: Google Analytics, which measures how the site is used, and Google AdSense, which serves the advertising. Both set cookies or similar identifiers and both send data to Google. They are described in the two sections below.
Because this is a factual description of the current build rather than a general template, it will be updated if what runs on the site changes.
- Collected by this site directly: nothing that identifies you
- Google Analytics (G-2332SQNHKX): usage measurement on all pages
- Google AdSense: advertising on all pages
- No accounts, logins, comments or checkout exist on the site
- No cookie consent banner is currently shown
Analytics
The site loads Google Analytics on every page. It is used to understand which pages are read, how people arrive and which guides need work; it is not used to build a profile of you by name.
Analytics of this kind typically records the pages you view and when, an approximate location derived from your IP address, your device type, browser and screen size, the referring site or search that brought you, and how you move between pages. That information is processed by Google under its own terms, and Google may use cookies or similar identifiers to recognize a returning browser.
Advertising
The site displays advertising through Google AdSense on every page. Ads are selected and served by Google and its advertising partners rather than by us, and those partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads, measure performance and limit how often you see the same advertisement.
Depending on your settings and location, ads may be personalized using your activity across this and other sites. We do not receive the personal data those networks collect, and we do not sell your personal information. See our Advertising Disclosure for how advertising is kept separate from what we publish.
Cookies
This site's own code does not set cookies to track you. The cookies and similar identifiers you may encounter here come from the Google analytics and advertising services described above.
The site does not currently display a cookie consent banner or offer an on-site way to refuse those cookies before they are set. Until one is in place, the controls available to you are your browser's cookie settings and your Google account's ad settings, described under Your choices below. This is stated plainly rather than left for you to discover.
The newsletter field
A newsletter signup field appears in the site footer. At present the address you type there is not transmitted to any server and is not stored by this site or by any third party; it stays in your browser and is discarded when you leave the page.
No mailing list is being built and no subscription is recorded. If a working newsletter is set up in the future, this page will be updated before any address is collected.
Your choices
Because the tracking on this site comes from Google rather than from our own code, the controls sit with your browser and your Google account.
- Browser settings can block or delete cookies, including third-party cookies
- Google account ad settings control ad personalization
- Google publishes a browser add-on that opts you out of Google Analytics
- Private or incognito browsing limits what persists between sessions
- Blocking these services does not prevent you from reading anything here
Fonts
Web fonts used on this site are served from the same domain as the rest of the site rather than loaded live from a third-party font provider, so visiting a page does not, by itself, send a request to an external font service.
Server logs
Whichever company hosts this website may automatically log standard technical information (such as IP address, browser type, and request timestamps) as a normal part of serving web pages, in the same way most web hosts do. This site's own source code does not add any additional tracking on top of that.
Children's privacy
This site does not knowingly collect personal information from children. It has no account creation and no comment features, and the only input field anywhere on the site is the footer newsletter field described above, which does not transmit or store what is typed into it.
The site is written for adults researching allergy topics, including parents looking into a child's symptoms, and is not directed at children.
Changes to this policy
If the technical implementation of this site changes — for example, if analytics or advertising is added — this page will be updated to reflect that change.
Owner / legal review
This policy reflects a technical review of the site's current source code. It has not been reviewed by a lawyer and should be reviewed by the site owner and, ideally, legal counsel before being relied upon for compliance purposes.
Two points in particular warrant that review rather than being treated as settled here. The site runs analytics and advertising cookies without presenting a consent choice first, which some jurisdictions require. It also does not currently offer an on-site mechanism for access or deletion requests, since there is no reader data held on our side to act on, but the data held by Google is subject to Google's own controls and policies.
Frequently asked questions
Does Allergy Relief Guide collect my personal information?
The site itself does not. There are no accounts, logins, comments or checkout, and it never asks for your name, address or health information. Google Analytics and Google AdSense do run on every page and send data to Google, which is described in this policy.
Does this site use cookies?
The site's own code does not set tracking cookies. The cookies you may encounter come from Google Analytics and Google AdSense, which run on every page and may use cookies or similar identifiers to measure usage and serve advertising.
Is there a cookie consent banner?
Not currently. The site does not display a consent banner or offer an on-site way to refuse those cookies before they are set. Until one is in place, your browser's cookie settings and your Google account's ad settings are the available controls. This is stated plainly rather than left for you to discover.
What does the analytics on this site record?
Analytics of this kind typically records which pages you view and when, an approximate location derived from your IP address, your device and browser, the referring site or search, and how you move between pages. It is used to see which guides need work, not to identify you by name.
What happens to the email I type into the newsletter box?
At present it is not transmitted anywhere and is not stored by this site or any third party. It stays in your browser and is discarded when you leave the page. No mailing list is being built, and this policy will be updated before any address is collected.
Do you sell my data?
No. We do not sell personal information, and we do not receive the personal data that Google's analytics and advertising services collect. That data sits with Google under its own terms.
How do I stop the tracking?
Because it comes from Google rather than our own code, the controls sit with your browser and your Google account: block or delete cookies in your browser, adjust ad personalization in your Google account settings, or use Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on. Blocking any of it does not stop you reading anything here.
Does this site load fonts or other files from third parties?
No external font service is used, so visiting a page does not by itself send a request to one. The only third-party services loaded are Google Analytics and Google AdSense.
